Roe worked as my dad's inside sales assistant when first married, went back to school and earned her university degree at age 52, worked at various jobs and later ran a business with my father. She was involved in ecumenical groups, the League of Women Voters, was proactive in immigration support activities and anti-discrimination causes. She traveled as far as Africa to visit her son in the Peace Corps, to Haiti to see the country of our exchange student Betty, and with adventurous aplomb she visited Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Europe, and Costa Rica.  She truly was a wonder woman and the best role model a daughter could wish for – she will be sorely missed, lovingly remembered, and forever emulated!
